I feel the need to remind everyone that Keffals did not in fact fool any straight men into thinking he was a woman. That is just his sexual fantasy. Even if you are calling it bad, if you are accepting that it happened you are playing into his sexual fantasy. Don't do that.
THEY ARE NOT LEGITAMTE COMPETITION AS THEIR TIES TO COMMUNIST CHINA ARE TOO STRONG, THEY ARE ANTICOMPETITIVE ASSHOLES WHO POACH GAMES OFF STEAM, AND THEY AGGRESSIVLY CATTER TO THE REGRESSIVE LEFT!
GoG is a better competitor than EGS (and before you start with "But GoG did XXX which proves them in league with Big Feminism(tm), Epic is just as bad if not worse on that front). The only thing EGS has going for it is the periodic free games subsidized with their Fortnite and Tencent money (and even that is of marginal utility IMO since there's already way more games than time out there and a free game you don't really care about is just a waste).
The EGS launcher has been repeatedly shown to be scanning other files on your computer, showing that is at least capable of being spyware, and has ridiculous resource usage (on a good day it's several times what Steam or Galaxy use, and I've seen screenshots of the launcher using north of 5 gigs of RAM)
EGS does not allow even numeric user reviews (just taking them from other online critic sites) or user comments.
EGS still does not have any gifting functionality.
EGS (I believe?) still does not have built-in screenshot functionality
EGS took over 2 years to add foreign currency support
EGS is still continuing with their practice of literal bribery to force timed exclusives on their store.
None of the above are issues for Steam (even though they have been trending towards "correcting" review scores for controversial titles). None of the above are issues for GoG (on newer games. Screenshots are still iffy on some older titles which don't support the Galaxy overlay), and GoG has the advantage of the DRM-free downloads.
Game is currently being sold DRM free on gumroad because there is still no real steam competitor: https://thebignic.gumroad.com/l/domina
Go ask brad wardell to make a fucking competitor: https://twitter.com/draginol
Keffals is suspected of having confessed to committing rape by deception because he claims to have had sex with straight men without disclosing his trans status while defending said infamous stereotypical act.
Stardock is woke, sadly. Despite Brad having been MeToo'd: https://old.reddit.com/r/4Xgaming/comments/wyyxz1/whats_the_story_on_humankind_being_woke/ilzmw02/
Mega edit: Wardell needs to fire that fucking leftist crank, also I warned him about the cunt in PM's on twitter.

I still miss Impulse. Was actually the first digital game store I used, even before Steam.
For a time they had some publishers signed on (it was years back, so I don't really recall what it was, but I know I bought non-Stardock stuff on it).
Then it got bought out by or sold off to Gamestop and that was time to Nope out.

STOP DEFENDING THE EPIC GAY STORE!

Everyone loved steam as that was where all the games were at, and it was also well designed.
Steam barely had any real competition back then and they won out.

There is 0 reason to use EGS.
I should also note that Steam likely got away with more than what GOG did because Valve is a bigger company than CDPR.
And Epic doesn't?
Listen I get it, you like Fortnite so you'll die on this hill but at least be consistent.
